To make the filling: Place the apples and water in a 2-quart baking dish.

In a cup, stir together the sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle over the apples and toss to coat well.

To make the topping: Preheat the oven to 375°F.

In a medium bowl, stir together the oats, flour, brown sugar and cinnamon. Add the corn syrup, oil and margarine or butter. Using a fork or pastry blender, mix until crumbly. Sprinkle evenly over the apples.

Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the topping begins to brown.

This crisp can be made ahead and served either cold or warm. To reheat a single serving, microwave on high power for 30 to 60 seconds. For a richer oat flavor, toast the oats in a dry nostick skillet over medium heat until fragrant. Then stir together with the flour, brown sugar and cinnamon.
